Whether she's teaching a new nurse the intricacies of Apheresis or comforting an anxious patient, she does so with genuine compassion and patience that seems boundless.
Susan Olasoji embodies the very essence of what nursing aspires to be. As a Senior Nurse on the Medical Day Unit, she transforms complex clinical care into an art form, particularly in her masterful operation of the Apheresis exchange machine. Yet what truly sets Susan apart is not just her technical expertise but the grace and warmth with which she shares her knowledge.

In a profession where every day brings new challenges, Susan stands as our cornerstone of strength and wisdom. Her remarkable humility, paired with extraordinary competence, creates an environment where both patients and colleagues flourish. When faced with complex cases, she approaches each situation with a calm demeanour that reassures patients and inspires confidence in her team.

What makes Susan truly exceptional is her gift for making everyone feel valued and supported. Whether she's teaching a new nurse the intricacies of Apheresis or comforting an anxious patient, she does so with genuine compassion and patience that seems boundless. Her smile has become a symbol of hope and reassurance on our unit.

The impact of Susan's presence extends far beyond her clinical duties. She has an innate ability to lift the spirits of her colleagues during challenging moments, offering not just her expertise but also her unwavering emotional support. Despite her vast knowledge and experience, she remains remarkably modest, always eager to learn and grow alongside her teammates.

Florence Nightingale once said that nursing is an art, and Susan Olasoji is truly a master artist. She weaves together technical precision, compassionate care, and gentle guidance with such elegance that she elevates our entire profession. Our unit, our patients, and our healthcare community are immeasurably enriched by her presence.

In Susan, we see the perfect fusion of professional excellence and human kindness. She is, indeed, one in a million - a humble giant in our field whose impact will ripple through generations of nurses to come. Her nomination for the DAISY Award is not just about recognising her achievements but about celebrating the very best of what nursing can be.
